=head1 NAME

htmlsel - Select HTML::Element nodes using CSel syntax

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.010 of htmlsel (from Perl distribution App-htmlsel), released on 2020-04-29.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 % htmlsel file.html '.Element[tag="p"] .Element[tag="b"]'

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This utility uses CSel to select against a tree of L<HTML::Element> nodes
constructed by L<HTML::TreeBuilder>. You probably want to use L<html-css-sel>
instead.

About the tree: the root node is HTML::TreeBuilder object. HTML::TreeBuilder is
a subclass of HTML::Element. All the other nodes are HTML::Element objects. This
utility allows you to omit the C<HTML::> prefix, so to select any node you can
use:

 .Element

which means to select any HTML::Element object (as well as instances of
HTML::Element subclasses).

=head1 OPTIONS

C<*> marks required options.

=head2 Main options

=over

=item B<--count>

Shortcut for --node-action count.

See C<--node-action>.

=item B<--dump>

Shortcut for --node-action dump.

See C<--node-action>.

=item B<--eval>=I<s@>

--eval E is shortcut for --action eval:E.

See C<--node-action>.

Can be specified multiple times.

=item B<--expr>=I<s>

=item B<--file>=I<s>

Default value:

 "-"

=item B<--node-action>=I<s@>

Specify action(s) to perform on matching nodes.

Default value:

 ["print_as_string"]

Each action can be one of the following:

* `count` will print the number of matching nodes.

* `print_method` will call on or more of the node object's methods and print the
  result. Example:

    print_method:as_string

* `dump` will show a indented text representation of the node and its
  descendants. Each line will print information about a single node: its class,
  followed by the value of one or more attributes. You can specify which
  attributes to use in a dot-separated syntax, e.g.:

    dump:tag.id.class

  which will result in a node printed like this:

    HTML::Element tag=p id=undef class=undef

By default, if no attributes are specified, `id` is used. If the node class does
not support the attribute, or if the value of the attribute is undef, then
`undef` is shown.

* `eval` will execute Perl code for each matching node. The Perl code will be
  called with arguments: `($node)`. For convenience, `$_` is also locally set to
  the matching node. Example in <prog:htmlsel> you can add this action:

    eval:'print $_->tag'

  which will print the tag name for each matching <pm:HTML::Element> node.


Can be specified multiple times.

=item B<--node-actions-json>=I<s>

Specify action(s) to perform on matching nodes (JSON-encoded).

See C<--node-action>.

=item B<--node-actions-on-descendants>=I<s>

Specify how descendants should be actioned upon.

Default value:

 ""

Valid values:

 ["","descendants_depth_first"]

This option sets how node action is performed (See `node_actions` option).

When set to '' (the default), then only matching nodes are actioned upon.

When set to 'descendants_depth_first', then after each matching node is actioned
upon by an action, the descendants of the matching node are also actioned, in
depth-first order. This option is sometimes necessary e.g. when your node's
`as_string()` method shows a node's string representation that does not include
its descendants.


=item B<--print>

Shortcut for --node-action print_as_string.

See C<--node-action>.

=item B<--print-method>=I<s@>

--print-method M is shortcut for --node-action print_method:M.

See C<--node-action>.

Can be specified multiple times.

=item B<--root>

Shortcut for --select-action=root.

See C<--select-action>.

=item B<--select-action>=I<s>

Specify how we should select nodes.

Default value:

 "csel"

Valid values:

 ["csel","root"]

The default is `csel`, which will select nodes from the tree using the CSel
expression. Note that the root node itself is not included. For more details on
CSel expression, refer to <pm:Data::CSel>.

`root` will return a single node which is the root node.


=item B<-R>

Shortcut for --node-action-on-descendants=descendants_depth_first.

See C<--node-actions-on-descendants>.

=back

=head2 Output options

=over

=item B<--format>=I<s>

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

 undef

=item B<--json>

Set output format to json.

=item B<--naked-res>

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

 0

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

    [200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd
element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just
the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when
you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use
`--naked-res` so you just get:

    [1,2,3]


=item B<--page-result>

Filter output through a pager.

=back

=head2 Other options

=over

=item B<--help>, B<-h>, B<-?>

Display help message and exit.

=item B<--version>, B<-v>

Display program's version and exit.

=back

=head1 COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several
shells.

=head2 bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

 complete -C htmlsel htmlsel

in your bash startup (e.g. F<~/.bashrc>). Your next shell session will then
recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the
line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using L<cpanm-shcompgen>
which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

=head2 tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

 complete htmlsel 'p/*/`htmlsel`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. F<~/.tcshrc>). Your next shell session will then
recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the
line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install L<shcompgen> (see above).

=head2 other shells

For fish and zsh, install L<shcompgen> as described above.
